Stomach issues after eating... it's hitting me hard.
in Women's Health ·
I’ve been dealing with what people call cysts—basically just those annoying little bumps under the skin—since I was twenty years old. Now I’m thirty-six. The weird thing is, they never all show up at once; it’s rarely just one, usually it’s two or three popping up at a time. I have spent an absolute fortune seeing every top-tier dermatologist out there because, obviously, this is their specialty, but honestly? It felt like throwing money down the drain. I did a three-month stint on penicillin, had my blood drawn for every test imaginable, and after all that drama, the doctor basically looked me in the eye and said, "I honestly have no clue." At least the dermatologist was upfront about being stumped. One thing I have noticed is that they tend to flare up more during the fall and autumn months. Honestly, the best way to handle them is to just squeeze them when they’re ripe, preferably while you’re still in the shower because the warm water really helps everything along. Don't stress too much, it isn't the end of the world. 🙂
